That has been inevitably connected with the development of a social sense which condemns men for their evil courses because of their damage to society. The Old Testament prophets are living their lives again in these days, and the more thoughtful men are being driven back to them for the great principles on which they may live safely.
"What!" said the cure, "do you really think that because our sacred profession condemns us both to celibacy, we are therefore unable to comprehend an affection such as yours, on which I myself pronounced the hallowing benediction of the Church if you remember nearly fifteen years ago?" "Is it perhaps intentionally, my father, that you recall the date of my marriage?
“There is that within you,” said Cæcilius, “which speaks as I speak. That inward voice takes the part of the Creator, and condemns you.” “He put it there,” said Juba; “and I will take care to put it out.” “Then He will have justice as well as power on His side,” said the priest. “I will never fawn or crouch,” said Juba; “I will be lord and master in my own soul.
Would it matter much?" This was one of the things that Waymark was ever and again saying, in spite of himself.

I don't even know where my relations live. Isn't Lord Harry good enough for me, as I am now? When I look at my prospects, is it wonderful if I talk like a desperate woman? There is but one encouraging circumstance that I can see. This misplaced love of mine that everybody condemns has, oddly enough, a virtue that everybody must admire. It offers a refuge to a woman who is alone in the world."
